By Jen I have returned, hale and hearty, from my epic adventure to Lake Maria State Park. I ultimately packed pretty much exactly what I said I would–I can’t remember including anything else. So, how did it go? In short, it was awesome! Mostly sunny, I think a high of Continue Reading →
ArtCrank did a really cool feature on fan-submitted “Best Bike Stories of 2011.” There were stories from Kat Fowler at Thank You For Seeing Me, Loretta Trevino (Seattle) and Leah Preble wrote about Babes in Bikeland, Anna Dorenboos wrote about RAGBRAI, and Letta Page wrote about her first century! Great Continue Reading →
By Jen I haven’t been blogging much recently, and haven’t been biking as much as I want to, due to non-bike obligations. Sometime it feels like I’m in an inertial state, and right now this body at rest has stayed at rest. So back on the blog wagon, although be Continue Reading →
By Jen I stop to look South off the Greenway. See the lights and bustle of Lake Street, but it’s silent here, two blocks so far away. Over Sabo there’s no wind. A smooth climb propelled over the city like this sailboat-bridge. Not many riders, fifty-five degrees. Few people to Continue Reading →

By Jen The Rider By Naomi Shihab Nye A boy told me if he roller-skated fast enough his loneliness couldn’t catch up to him, the best reason I ever heard for trying to be a champion. What I wonder tonight pedaling hard down King William Street is if it translates Continue Reading →
Anna from Bike Skirt and her boyfriend, Ross, were in Minneapolis this past weekend. Anna and Ross are from Birmingham, Alabama. They were here during our third (? I’ve lost count now.) snow storm of this winter, and were total troopers and weren’t too traumatized by our weather event- they Continue Reading →
M’Dears, As Babes in Bikeland comes up next weekend, I wish I was there at least visiting and could ride it with you. So fun last year! I just read the article that Low sent about WTFs in Mpls and it made me nostalgic. San Francisco is great for biking Continue Reading →
